So, last night in my previous blog post, i told all of you that i didn't go home last night because of problems with my mother. So, i spent the night at Aldric's place, it is going so well, besides my cell phone on the verge of dying. So, i had to turn off my cell phone. Anyways, last night i slept in Aldric's room since he was downstairs watching a movie, 'Meet Dave.' Last night, i was on meebo.com for MSN and then i went to bed around 3:00 a.m. or something. My girlfriend called me a couple times last night and the last time was when i was already sleeping. I called her back, because i magically woke up. She read my blog post to me on the phone. After that, we went to go to sleep, so we got off the phone at around 4:51 a.m.

I woke up this morning "at like 12:23 p.m." says Aldric. As soon as i woke up, i went to the washroom to wash my face and to re-adjust my contacts, since i slept with them on. "You slept with your contacts on?" Yes, i did Aldric. So, me and Aldric went downstairs and played NBA 08. It was a rematch of last night's game on TV. I used the Boston Celtics and Aldric used the Los Angeles Lakers, except this time i won. Since we played on the easiest difficulty, we barely missed any shots all game. The final score was 178 - 119, for me. I was trying to hit the 200-point mark, but Aldric was coming up with some amazing blocks. Anyways, after that, we played again. We changed the difficulty to All-Star and i, again, played as the Boston Celtics. He, on the other hand, played as the Toronto Raptors, with his created character, Jamario Moon, since he wasn't implemented in the game. At halftime we stopped playing, even though i was winning. Cathleen wanted to watch some movies on the TV, so we quickly downloaded Playstation Home first, to try it out. It was pretty cool [and funny]. We went to some place where everyone was dancing around some music. Aldric was dancing, but his character wasn't even facing the camera, so all we could see was his back. Aldric then gave the thumbs down to some black character that was dancing and we all started laughing. It was me, Aldric, Cathleen and their mom watching Aldric go around in Playstation Home. He went into the Theater and pretty much did nothing. "And stole somebody's seat," says Aldric, who is sitting right beside me and being my personal editor. "Hehehehehe." Anyways, he went to the Arcade / Bowling Alley, in Playstation Home. But, since there were so many people in the alley's, he didn't get a chance to bowl or play pool. After that, he went to the Mall and soon after, Cathleen stopped him. So, we had to turn off the Playstation 3 and then me and Aldric went downstairs to play some basketball on his mini-net. "We were trying to shoot from like half-court in my basement," says Aldric. I won, obviously and then we came upstairs when we finished playing basketball. "I can't even write a whole page, like that blog, whole page of a story," mentions Aldric, who is talking about me writing this post. Anyways, when we came upstairs, we went on their sexy, Dell laptop and watched some youtube.com videos. We watched: Slamball, Top 40 Dunks of 2008, MXC, and some random guy pole vaulting and getting the pole to his balls. We were laughing real hard, i love it here. Anyways, later on tonight, we're going to my uncle's place / condo, i can't wait.

We might play "Are you smarter than a 5th grader," but we'll see. I'll be returning home tonight, so yeah. Aldric's gonna get his present tonight, which he says will be a movie, 'Kung-fu Panda' and 'Kung-fu Panda and the Secrets of the Furious Five.' He told me what to write there, so i don't really know what the second movie is because i've never heard of it. "It's in the pandemonium pack," says Aldric.

Today, i will be explaining my day and how my Christmas went, we will talk about the highs and also the lows of the day.

Worst:As i mentioned in my previous blog, i woke up at around 11:42 this morning and my mom never said a word to me. She went into my room 3 times, twice to drop off clothes from the laundry and once to give me my present (with no card, wtf). I opened my present and i received a wallet and usually, i would like something like this. But, you know what? Right now, i don't need a wallet. I already have 3, do i really need another? It's not like i told her that i needed one in the first place, so i don't know where she comes up with a dumb idea like that. Not once, did she even bother to ask me if i needed anything for Christmas, but whatever. It's so funny because when we went to Best Buy on the weekend to get my cousin's gift, i actually got my hopes up that i was actually getting a PS3. Want to know why? We split up in the store and i found her fiddling around in the Playstation 3 section of the store. Thanks for fooling me. Anyways, so i got a wallet for Christmas, yipee, at least there was 50 bucks inside the wallet. Did i mention that not once did she say Merry Christmas to me today. She also never said thank you for the gift that i got her, Bourne Ultimatum. She's actually been wanting that box set for a year now. At least one of us got something they wanted. So, moving along, she yells at me to go and eat, but i never went because i wasn't hungry at the time. I did end up eating my breakfast about a half hour later, but ehh. Anyways, moving even more along, it hits about 3:45 p.m. and i ask my mom if she can drive me to my girlfriend's, Nikki's, place and you know what she says? "Oh, i didn't even know you were going." Seriously? I've been telling her for about a week now and she claims that i haven't told her, so whatever, i just go and bus to Nikki's instead. I got to my girlfriend's place at around 5 and this was by far the best part of the day.

Best:I got to my girlfriend's place and they were watching 'House of Saddam.' At first, i said to myself, "Why are we watching this?" But, it actually was quite interesting. Anyways, after a while i finally made my way to the basement where the teenagers were playing Rock Band on the Wii. I had such a good time. Being able to spend time with Nikki and her family, playing with her cute cousins, watching the guys play Rock Band, shooting some hoops on the mini-net downstairs and actually being able to feel as if i was actually part of a family. This morning was the loneliest i've ever felt. I rode 2 buses to get to Nikki's place and on the first bus, i was the only one inside and on the second one, there were 3 of us inside the bus. Anyways, her family just really made me so happy. The laughing, karaoke, cousins and a special thanks to my girlfriend, who was so amazing tonight. They had a 'Steal a Gift' and it just brought us all so many laughs and smiles that it just took away all of the pain that i felt this morning from being completely neglected by my mother. It was an amazing time and i thank my girlfriend, Nikki, and her parents who helped me through a tough time.

Worst:Before i left Nikki's house, i called my mom and asked for a ride home. She said, "Well, you can bus to her house, why don't you bus home?" I said, "Do you know what time it is? They don't have buses running this late at night." Mom says, "Oh well, maybe you should have gone home earlier then, oh wait, you have money now right? [referring to the Christmas money that i now have] Why don't you take a cab home?" I got furious and asked her what was wrong with her today and out of anger i called her an asshole, but i don't regret it. That was the first time that i actually swore at my mother on purpose and it felt good. For her to make my Christmas so horrible, i just had to send her a message and that was the only way i could do it. I may have been wrong for calling her that, but all of the hurt that i am feeling right now is telling me not to regret what i said.

Best: My girlfriend was by my side the whole time and i really thank her for that. She took time away from her family party in order to love and care for me and i really, really appreciated it. She is amazing and i couldn't ask for a better girlfriend. Her parents were also extremely nice to me when they saw how much pain i was in. I was crying and thankfully, my girlfriend was there to hug me and to tell me that everything was okay. She gave me some alcohol because, "I needed it." I love her to death, seriously. Nikki's mom gave me some food to bring home, mmm =). Nikki's dad was also being extremely nice to me and was going to lend me a ride to the corner of the street, which is where i was going to be picked up by my cousin's [not my mom]. Unfortunately, there were cars blocking his car's pathway out of the driveway, but it was okay, i still appreciate his effort. After my short walk to the corner at about 12:30 in the morning, my aunt was there to pick me up. I told her the story and what happened between me and my mom and now i am at their place and i also thank them for allowing me to sleep-over here for the night. I will most likely be going home tomorrow, but i just needed to get away from my mom for a bit because i hate all of her negative vibe that she gives off.

Conclusion: Special Thanks: To my cousin's (for letting me stay at their place), Nikki's family (for helping me feel as if i was part of a family, for a change), Nikki's parents (for being extremely nice to me) and, of course, Nikki (for being there every single step of the way, i love you so much babe)
Special NO Thanks: Hi mother.
